IDEAS: …for the first time in history man is not only taking his future seriously but he also has adequate technology and power to shape and form the future. He is endeavoring to choose his future rather than simply living out some inevitable trend…the greatest problem which man faces in the years to some …. Is the question of how much change the human being can accept, absorb and assimilate, and the rate at which he can take it… can he leave the static ways and guidelines which have dominated all of his history and adopt the process ways, the continual changing-ness which must be his if he is to survive? (Carl Rogers, Interpersonal Relationships: USA 2000. Full text at 707 Melrose.) - the Toffler lecture, Thursday, January 27, should deal directly with this… - THE CHANGING FAMILY STRUCTURE WORKSHOP with Margaret Mead, Feb. 17-19 will probe changes forming life styles and structures of tomorrow….
